Description
This application claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 202210193941.6 filed on Mar. 1, 2022, in the State Intellectual Property Office of China, the whole disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a seal ring installation module and a seal ring installation system including the seal ring installation module.
In the prior art, components such as connectors often utilize sealing elements or rings to protect the connector from environmental intrusions. The seal ring is usually manually installed on or within the component, for example, on a connector housing to achieve the sealing of the connector housing. However, it is difficult to install the seal ring manually because the seal ring is typically adhered with oil, making it difficult to handle. As such, efficiency of manual installation of the seal ring is very low, and the seal ring is often damaged as a result of excess or improper handling.
A seal ring installation module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a seal ring pickup and transfer device adapted to pick up a seal ring and transfer the seal ring to a component. The pickup and transfer device includes a support member and an outer cylinder sleeved on the support member. The support member has an external shape or at least one external dimension corresponding to those of the component. One end of the support member protrudes from an opening at one end of the outer cylinder to pick up and support the seal ring. One of the outer cylinder or the support member is movable axially relative to the other and is adapted to, with the component axially aligned with and contacting the one end of the support member, transfer the seal ring supported on the one end of the support member from the support member to the component under a biasing force applied by an end face of one end of the outer cylinder.
These and/or other aspects, features, and advantages of the invention will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of example embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described hereinafter in detail with reference to the attached drawings, wherein the like reference numerals refer to the like elements. The present disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiment set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. It will be apparent, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are schematically shown in order to simplify the drawing.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a seal ring installation module comprises a seal ring pickup and transfer device adapted to pick up an opened seal ring and transferring it to a component. The seal ring pickup and transfer device includes a support member, the external shape and dimension of which are the same as those of the component, and an outer cylinder which is sleeved on the supporting member. One end of the support member protrudes from an opening at one end of the outer cylinder to pick up and support the opened seal ring. One of the outer cylinder or the support member is movable axially relative to the other. In this way, a seal ring supported on the one end of the support member is transferable from the support member to the component that is axially aligned and contacted with the one end of the support member under the biasing force of an end face of one end of the outer cylinder.
As shown in FIGS. 1-3 , in the illustrated embodiment, the seal ring installation system includes a seal ring supply module 10 and a seal ring installation module 20. The seal ring supply module 10 is used to supply the seal ring 1 to the seal ring installation module 20.
